As Heisman trophy winner Kyler Murray continues to flirt with the idea of entering the NFL Draft and spurning the forlorn Oakland Athletics, Clay Travis thinks the preemptive idea to choose a non-contact sport like baseball over a collision sport like football simply because of long-term implications isn’t one that a once-in-a-generational talent like Murray should be seriously considering.

Clay believes if Murray is indeed being coveted as a first-round pick by NFL teams, then the Oklahoma superstar should absolutely stick with football and enjoy the spoils of first-round pick money that is far more rewarding than that of Major League Baseball.
